Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing legal analysts who described the O.J. Simpson trial as 'the trial of the century'. This is not a logical fallacy in itself, but it does suggest that the author may be relying on external sources rather than their own analysis or expertise. Additionally, there are several instances where the author uses inflammatory rhetoric to describe reactions to O.J. Simpson's death and his trial more generally (e.g., 'renewing public interest in his era-defining 1995 murder trial'). This is not a logical fallacy, but it does suggest that the author may be trying to stir up emotions rather than presenting an objective analysis of events. Finally, there are several instances where the author uses dichotomous depictions (e.g., 'The only thing I have to say is it's just further reminder of Ron being gone all these years'). This is not a logical fallacy in itself, but it does suggest that the author may be oversimplifying complex issues or presenting them in black-and-white terms.

Bias
(85%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'era-defining' to describe OJ Simpson's murder trial which is a loaded term that implies it was an important event in American history. This could be seen as an example of ideological bias, as the author may have a particular political or social viewpoint on this topic. Additionally, there are examples of monetary bias throughout the article such as when it mentions OJ Simpson's team of lawyers including his friend Robert Kardashian and late husband of reality television mogul Kris Jenner.
